Pilgrims In America

Settlers came to america for it’s many advantages. The pilgrims came for land, self government, work, chances of their own children living longer, and there were also rumors of gold and silver in america. Settlers didn’t know what was in america but, they did imagine that there would be plenty of land full of opportunities, and work to be done. This small community could start to plant crops like tobacco, and because they had new and healthy crops because of how they learned to farm, themselves and their children lived longer. I found these facts in a prezi facts presentation and also in the historical america video.

Jazz was born in New Orleans nearly one hundred years ago. It’s roots can be found in the musical traditions of Africa and Europe. In fact, some people say that jazz is the perfect combination of African and European music. From African music, jazz got its: rhythm and "feel", "blues" quality, some even say it originated from the "Deep South" of the United States at the end of the 19th century from slaves spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants and rhymes simple narrative ballads. From European music, jazz got its: harmony -- that is, the chords that accompany the tunes, jazz harmony is similar to classical music's harmony, instruments

Although the reputation of being a land of the free, the American colonies were quite often filled with people who were not treated as free citizens or as equals. There was an often misunderstanding that the American colonists no longer wanted to British citizens anymore, and although that wasn’t the case, they still got treated fairly bad by the British Parliament. The American colonists still wanted to be viewed as loyal citizens, and seen as equals. Because the British Parliament treated the American colonies unfairly, the American colonists declared their independence to be freed from the British Parliament to be treated as equals.

Jazz is an American music genre, founded by African-American musicians. It emerged in the early 1900s as its creators merged aspects from West African musical traditions with aspects from religious music and from many other types of popular music based on European traditions. While some elements of jazz were borrowed from other musical genres, the music that came forth was one of a kind, an art form of its own. A significant element of jazz is improvisation, the adjustment of a melody or countermelody as a song is being performed. Therefore, a song may be different every time it is played.

It documented that New Orleans is the city that gave birth to Jazz. The deeper one dives into this there are more arguments that can claim one or the other city of its jazz origin. New Orleans traditions keep many of the early customs thriving and as a novice it would be hard to challenge this without being open minded to see what each city has own historical references. The city of New Orleans has a wide culture of all races and was a natural setting for the music of West Africa and Europe to converge. Storyville was a part of New Orleans where early jazz developed and continued to thrive until 1917. Depending on the point of view or where ones allegiance falls based on the style of music is preferred others say jazz came directly to Chicago’s 12th Street station from the Illinois Central Railroad with the slaves. Part of the mass movement of African Americans from South to North is what came to be called “The Great Migration” and musicians came north for the same others did the demand for factory jobs and decent money to support the craft. Chicago had major musical talent as well before Storyville closed and sheet music featuring the Pekin Theater dates from 1904. According to the Chicago defender, Erskine Tate played his violin in Chicago in 1910 and Wilbur Sweatman was in Chicago playing clarinet in 1906.

The Pilgrims, were an English group trying to escape religious persecution from the Church of England, by fleeing to Holland. While in Holland, the Pilgrims received a land patent from the Virginia Company. The Pilgrims created their own joint-stock company to finance their trip to the New World. In 1620, led by William Bradford, the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower and set sail for Virginia. While Virginia was their destination, a storm blow them off course and

When the first English colony in the United States was established, it was under the rule England’s monarch. The monarch placed governors in each colony as their official spokesperson. The people could provide suggestions to these governors and could propose laws, but the monarch had the final says on all laws. The colonies didn’t have any delegates in Parliament, so they didn’t have much of a say in the decisions that affected their lives. Britain’s government had complete control over the colonies in America. This caused separation among the colonies and friction between the colonies’ assemblies and the king’s governors. If I was alive back in 1776, I would be very glad that the United States was declaring independence from Great Britain.

Jazz is a music genre that has complex characteristics and history of development and thus many musicians and scholars face troubles in defining what jazz is. In general, jazz is believed to have born in New Orleans. Jazz developed for the pleasure of the social dancers. According to the “Understanding Jazz: What Is Jazz?” of John F. Kennedy center for the Performing Arts, Jazz was created mainly by Afro-Americans, and had elements of European and Afro-American culture. Also, it emphasizes few elements of Jazz, which are swing-feel, syncopation, and improvisation. These different culture and elements of jazz may be explained by how jazz

Coming out of the harsh winter almost killed the entire pilgrim village. It was not until Natives of the land help the Pilgrim people. This was the route to their survival. It was, "The Wampanoag who lived in the area taught the Pilgrims how to smoke and dry indigenous meat and fish and how to plant the three sisters - corn, beans, and squash - in mounds fertilized by fish and blessed by powdered tobacco, which is also a natural insect repellent." (post-gazette.com). The enormous help not only gave the pilgrims a fighting chance to live but a step to follow their dream. To go from, sea to shining sea, without the Natives, the Pilgrims would not have been able to keep their dream going and would have died or worse, giving up on their dream.

Jazz had started, when musicians came to New Orleans to play, most of the people that came to play were former slaves of African descent. The African American people had traced their ancestry back to West Africa, and with this knowledge they began to make a new kind of genre of music called jazz, based on ancient African tribal music, that people in Africa had been

Jazz and hip-hop, two forms of music born out of the historical and social struggles of the African-American culture. Jazz finds its origins in New Orleans, Louisiana, uniting military music with ragtime, Creole and European traditions, and finally the blues, with its painful history of slavery and racial abuse. Hip Hop however born out of the streets of New York City, reflecting on the treacherous gang violence and social inequalities for inner black kids. Most would say that hip-hip is somewhat of a grandchild to jazz. Whether it is or not, both constantly deal with racial issues, finding their roots and icons in the African-American culture.

In the 1920s, through the streets of New Orleans, a familiar sound could be heard escaping from the walls of the night clubs. The sultry saxophone solos and the strange scatting selections filled the air. The style was new and spontaneous. This new genre incorporated the styles from gospel hymns, blues, and ragtime, yet was completely different in its own way. The sound, with its new techniques that gave it a raw uniqueness, was able to capture America's curiousness, and make many fall head over heels for the new infectious sound. It drew in people from any age, race, and social status. This new genre was called jazz, and it became so popular that an era was named after it. Jazz is a blend of African American spiritual folk songs and

A is an incorrect answer, because James I strongly disappointed the Puritans by not having a new frame of mind on religious beliefs. In the video, "History: Pilgrims," the Puritans hoped that James I would have a view that was more like theirs because he was raised in a reformed Protestant church. When he was visited by the Puritans James I told them, "If you persist in trying to get me to change the church, I will remove you from the land." This left the Puritans with no hope in their new king, and very distraught that the views of the Catholic Church would remain the same.
